PA Friends of Ag

All this week Highland Elementary staff and students have enjoyed hands on learning and fun experiments with an agricultural theme. For example, today fourth grade students learned about soybeans and all the places this legume is used.

Special thanks to Highland teachers Scott Brewer and Erin Derrickson who applied for, and were awarded, a @WestShoreFdn grant to bring the PA Friends of Agriculture Foundation’s Mobile Agriculture Education Science Lab to their school. #WestShorePartners #WestShoreProud

A local purchase might help run a farm, support a family business or create job growth. That’s why we partner with local growers and makers like Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative to make it easier for you to support them, too.

Water, grain, yeast, and hops-- A combination that truly is tops; When they’re boiled together and given a rest, It gives us a feeling that we like the best; We hope the increasing trend in the number of craft breweries in Pennsylvania never stops! 🍺 #CraftBeerMonth

Gardening releases positive hormones, lowers depression, and reduces anxiety. Fresh air, sunshine, and a little physical labor is good for the soul and body!

Do you know what a baseball, bat and glove are made from? The Friends of Ag Foundation is teaching kids about the connection to agriculture today at Education Days at the Harrisburg Senators baseball game. @HbgSenators

Thanks to all of our great volunteers, we had a great #PAAgLitWeek across the state! Kids in over 1200 classrooms had the book "Tyler Makes Pancakes" read to them, and then got to do a fun bingo game that reinforced farm-to-food connections! @TylerFlorence

Had the chance to participate in #PAAgLitWeek by reading to my daughter's class. These kids easily made farm-to-food connections! @PAFriendsofAg @PAFarmBureau twitter.com/MrsOwlstin/sta…
